The staff at the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa likes to say that the road to the Final Four may end in Houston, but the drinks don't stop until The Bar closes. To celebrate the big weekend, The Bar team has concocted special drinks for each of the participating universities' mascots in what they're calling the "Final Four Firewater."

For the University of North Carolina, whose nickname is Tar Heels and whose ram mascot is Rameses, the bar has shaken up a "Tar Heel Wader" of ​Absolut Elyx pineapple vodka, Dolin vermouth and choice of fresh garnish.
